Quercus Venice Dining Table Delivery

 

There’s something special about a New Year delivery — a fresh start, a new space coming together, and furniture that’s going to be part of everyday life for years to come.

This week we delivered this beautiful Quercus Venice Dining Table, and it couldn’t be a better way for our customer to kick off the year. Set within a calm, contemporary dining space, the table instantly became the heart of the room — ready for family meals, relaxed breakfasts, and evenings spent entertaining friends.

A Dining Table Designed for Real Life

 

The Quercus Venice Dining Table is crafted from solid oak and designed with modern living in mind. Clean lines, a beautifully balanced profile, and the natural character of the oak make it both practical and timeless.

It’s a table that feels just as right on a busy weekday as it does when the house is full at the weekend. Solid, dependable, and full of warmth — exactly what dining furniture should be.

Styled with Lottie Taupe Dining Chairs

 

Paired here with our Lottie Taupe Dining Chairs, the overall look feels soft, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish. The upholstered chairs add comfort and contrast, while their slim black legs keep the space feeling light and contemporary.

It’s a combination we love — oak and taupe working together to create a dining area that feels calm, cohesive, and ready to be lived in.

Why Oak Works So Well in the New Year

 

Oak furniture has a way of grounding a space. Its natural tones bring warmth and balance, especially at this time of year when we’re all thinking about refreshing our homes and simplifying how we live.

Starting the year with a solid oak dining table isn’t about trends — it’s about investing in something that will age beautifully, cope with everyday life, and still look great years down the line.

The Venice table does exactly that.

Delivered, Assembled & Ready to Enjoy

 

As with all our deliveries, the table was delivered and set in place by our own team, ready for immediate use. No flat-pack stress, no guesswork — just beautifully made furniture arriving exactly as it should.

Seeing pieces like this settled into their new homes is one of the best parts of what we do.

Thinking About Updating Your Dining Space?

 

If you’re planning changes this year, a new dining table is a great place to start. Whether you’re hosting more, gathering the family around the table, or simply want a space that feels right every day, we’d love to help.

A Much-Loved Table, Beautifully Refreshed ✨

Uncategorised

Some projects have a special kind of charm — and this one certainly did.

Deborah reached out to us to bring her dining table back to life, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. After a careful refurbishment and finish in our Warminster workshop, her table is now looking as elegant as ever — ready for many more family meals and dinner parties to come.

Deborah kindly shared these lovely words:

“Good morning Dean,

I just wanted to say a big thank you. The table looks amazing. We love the chairs too.”

It’s always a pleasure working with customers who love their furniture as much as we do. There’s something deeply rewarding about preserving the character of a well-loved piece while giving it a fresh, modern look that fits perfectly into today’s home.

The warm oak grain, paired with Deborah’s beautiful choice of contemporary chairs, creates a stylish and inviting dining space — perfect for relaxed evenings and Sunday lunches alike.

If you have a table, sideboard, or any other piece that deserves a new lease of life, we’d love to help. Our team can refinish, colour-match, and restore your furniture to its full glory — all right here at our workshop next to our Warminster showroom.

A Perfect Fit: Lynn’s Beautiful Painted Cabinet

Uncategorised

We absolutely love hearing from our customers — especially when they share kind words (and photos as lovely as these!)

Lynn recently got in touch to let us know how delighted she and her husband are with their new piece from Con-Tempo Furniture:

“We thought you would like to know how delighted we are with our new furniture and all the dealings we have had with yourself and Con-Tempo.

The chest has been admired by several friends all of whom think the quality is excellent and it suits our chosen position perfectly.

We have pushed the boat out and changed the handles to some Buster and Punch ones so they match with others around the house.

Con-Tempo have been a real treat to deal with and the quality of the product is exceptional.”

Lynn

Their chosen piece — a compact painted cabinet with a solid oak top — fits beautifully in its new home. The soft, neutral paint tone pairs perfectly with the natural oak grain, while the addition of Buster & Punch handles gives it a subtle contemporary edge.

We’re thrilled to see how seamlessly it blends into their space — a perfect example of how timeless British craftsmanship can sit comfortably in any modern home.

Thank you, Lynn, for sharing your lovely words and photos — and for allowing us to feature them here. We can’t wait to see the final look once the finishing touches (and that power point move!) are complete.

Oak Dining Tables Made for Real Life — Not Just the Showroom

Uncategorised

There’s nothing like gathering around a beautiful solid oak dining table.

The warmth, the grain, the character — it’s a centrepiece, a storyteller, and the heart of the home.

But let’s be honest…

Life happens at the dining table.

Hot mugs are put down without coasters.

Glasses spill mid-conversation.

Kids get creative with tomato sauce (or felt-tips!)

Sunday roasts arrive fresh from the oven.

And your table shouldn’t panic — and neither should you.

That’s exactly why our oak dining tables come with a heat- and stain-proof finish designed for real homes, real families and real life moments.


Protected Without Losing That Natural Oak Beauty

 

We believe your dining table should look like oak, feel like oak — and stand up to everyday living.

Our specialist finish gives you:

  • Heat resistance — everyday use without worrying about rings

  • Stain protection — wine, coffee, sauces… wipe and relax

  • A natural look — still beautifully tactile, never plasticky

  • Low-maintenance living — enjoy, don’t fuss

 

So whether you’re hosting Christmas lunch or enjoying a quiet coffee before school runs, your table is ready.

Both pieces are finished with sleek brushed handles that complement the bold colour beautifully.

Crafted in Wiltshire

 

Like all of our furniture, these Lusso pieces are designed and built in our workshop right next to our Warminster showroom. Every piece can be tailored to your requirements – whether that’s adjusting dimensions, choosing alternative finishes, or matching to your favourite paint colour. With 12 oak finishes, endless paint choices, and a variety of handles, the Lusso collection offers complete flexibility.

Why Choose Lusso?

 

  • Made-to-measure options – ideal for awkward spaces or bespoke layouts.

  • Durable construction – built to last by our skilled team.

The Ora Desk with Hidden Chair – Smart Design for Modern Living

Uncategorised

At Con-Tempo Furniture, we’re always inspired by the way our customers use their homes. More and more, living spaces are being asked to do double duty — dining rooms that need to become workspaces, spare bedrooms that double as guest rooms and studies, and living areas that need to stay both stylish and practical.

That’s where the Ora Desk with Hidden Chair comes in.

A Sideboard by Day, a Desk by Night

On first glance, the Ora Desk looks like a sleek, modern oak sideboard, handcrafted in our Warminster workshops using a blend of natural oak and contemporary design details. Its clean lines and neat storage make it a beautiful addition to any dining room or open-plan space.

But the real magic happens when it’s time to work. Inside, a smartly hidden chair slides out, turning this piece into a functional desk. When the day is done, the chair tucks seamlessly back in, keeping the room tidy and clutter-free.

Designed for Dual Purposes

This design is perfect for those who need their dining room to serve as both a stylish entertaining space and a practical home office. With more people working from home, flexibility is essential, and the Ora Desk offers exactly that — without compromising on looks.

Handmade in Wiltshire

Like all of our furniture, the Ora Desk is made here in our workshops next to our showroom in Warminster, Wiltshire. Every piece is built to order by our skilled team, using genuine oak and finished to the highest standards. Customers can also choose from a range of finishes to suit their home.

Delivered to Our Customers

We recently delivered this beautiful desk to one of our long-standing customers, who wanted a piece that blended seamlessly into their dining room while offering the practicality of a home office setup. It’s always a pleasure to see our designs being used in real homes — making everyday life that little bit easier.

If you’re looking for furniture that combines style, practicality, and craftsmanship, the Ora Desk with Hidden Chair is a perfect choice.
